API: Add ability to update_now repository from mirror (pull)

Description

It would be handy to be able to trigger a mirroring via the API as can be done via the web interface and the /:namespace/:project/mirror/update_now endpoint.

Looks like mirroring is coming to CE so I am opening this here.

Proposal

Add a

POST /projects/:id/update_now

endpoint to trigger updating.

Documentation blurb

Trigger an update

Triggers pulling in of changes for repository mirroring. Returns status code 304 if the project does not have a mirror respository.

POST /projects/:id/update_now

Parameters:

Attribute Type Required Description
id integer/string yes The ID or URL-encoded path of the project
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: 9koXpg98eAheJpvBs5tK" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/update_now"
